VY: As one of several rising Asian-American designers in the industry today, how do you feel that your heritage has inspired you in your creative intellect?

RC: The influence my heritage has on my collection is in the pure/ minimal approach to design. It is also in the way I cut clothes in an unconventional way. At first glance, the clothes appear quite simple, but upon closer inspection one can see all the intricate details and construction lines.

hehe . . . .i agree with above.hmm . . i wonder if RC is available.only kidding!!but i like what he’s doing with the layers that he has on.it looks very light and springy.very smart . . because if it gets a litte warm. . simply take one off. . get a little chilly . . then put it back on.

As a fan of his work, no New York designer has a style like his. The cut of his cloths are amazing and the pieces are like couture. I can’t wait for his fall collection to hit the stores!! Talk about YUMMY!!!
